"I can tell you this, when talking about (Gordon) with Calvin, Calvin basically said, 'that young boy is good,'" Burleson said Monday, per The Plain Dealer. "And for a guy like Calvin, who has very little words, for him to kind of give that credit to a young guy, it basically tells everybody in the world to watch out, the next big thing's here."

We discussed on the latest "Around The League Podcast" that there is a chance that Burleson might not make the final roster. If he does make it through cuts, he will play the role the Browns lacked last season: mentor to an ascending receiving talent.

"I'm going to lead by example and then establish those relationships," Burleson said of his approach in Cleveland. "If I can take a guy out to dinner, hang out outside of the locker room, then I'm definitely going to do that 'cause that's one of the more important times when the lessons are learned, when you've got the jerseys off and you kind of unveil yourself and it's not all football."

If he sticks with the team, Burleson's contributions on the field could be minimal, but he still can play a familiar role: Nate the Mentor.
